"Chaplain passes away
9/23/2010 - ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- A senior chaplain assigned to Headquarters Air Force Reserve Command died Sept. 21 while on temporary duty to Joint Base Andrews, Md.
Chaplain (Col.) Charles M. Bolin was on active-duty orders at the time. He told his wife, who went with him to Andrews, that he was going jogging.
At about 6 p.m., a passerby found Chaplain Bolin collapsed in the parking lot outside Building 1535. The person started cardiopulmonary resuscitation and called 911.
The Andrews Emergency Department responded and transported Chaplain Bolin to the Malcolm Grow Medical Center's emergency room where a medical team tried to revive him. The attempts to revive him failed, and Chaplain Bolin was pronounced dead of an apparent heart attack at 6:23 p.m."
The Air Force Reserve Command is a Major Command of the United States Air Force, with its headquarters stationed at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. It is the federally controlled Air Reserve Component of the U.S. Air Force, consisting of duly appointed commissioned officers and enlisted airmen.
AFRC supports the Air Force mission to defend the United States through the control and exploitation of air and space by supporting Global Engagement. AFRC also plays an integral role in the day-to-day Air Force mission and is not strictly a force held in reserve for possible war or contingency operations.
The federal reserve component of the United States Air Force, AFRC has approximately 450 aircraft assigned for which it has sole control. as well as access to several hundred additional active duty USAF aircraft via AFRC "Associate" wings that are collocated with active duty Air Force wings, sharing access to those aircraft.. The inventory includes the latest, most capable models of aircraft that are also assigned to the active-duty U.S. Air Force. On any given day, 99 percent of AFRC's aircraft are mission-ready and able to deploy within 72 hours.
The purpose of the Air Force Reserve as derived from Title 10 United States Code is to:
Provide combat-ready units and individuals for active duty whenever there are not enough trained units and people in the Regular component of the Air Force to perform any national security mission.
